Like a bedcrumb



In between us 
Like a bed crumb 
Ruffles open 
On behest 
Token lyrics 
Mark the silence
Of a necklace 
Like a title 
On a forehand 
Or the entrance 
Of a tomb

Have you noticed 
All the sparrows 
Light as rosebuds
Poor as butter 
Bright and florid 
Warm as June 

Do they know it’s  
Their indelible 
Stain on nature 
When they crush 
A sweet bilberry 
They don't worry 
About their blouses
Nor their edible 
Ontological dilemma 

They just sing and fly 
and mudbathe 
They just puff their little breasts 
Do they suffer in a sunbeat 
Do they die a second death? 

So this gap is 
Thin between us 
Like a magnet 
On a spanner 
Should we ring 
Like bells for Jesus 
Should we boing 
Our lily hammers?
